How to cancel Pocket Sergeant subscription ⁉️

User reviews

Worthless unless you pay monthly

As above. Would be happy to pay outright for this but as usual and like most other apps it’s gone down the route of a subscription.

Started great now subscription.

Paid for a premium app used every day. Now I haven’t used it in years. Dip in to check one law and can’t see or use a thing without subscribing.
I’m sure that’s fine if you use it a lot but after paying a one off price it’s infuriating in my use case.

Greedy

Have to pay to even view anything. What’s the point of even having a standard mode. Just have the pro. Very greedy

Doesn’t work

Had to cancel as app stopped recognising that I had a subscription - great app when it worked

Subscription fees

Pay for the app and then expected to pay £1.99 a month to access anything on the app…
